Y PLOW.

Application filed June 10, 1925. Serial No. 36,226.

this character in which the parts constituting f the same are adjustably associated so that the same can be .readily positioned to perform different desired characters of work.

With the above broadly stated objects in view, the improvement resides in the construction, combination and operative association of vparts such as is disclosed by the drawing which accompanies and forms part of this application.

In the drawing Y Figure l is a side elevation of the plow embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3--3 of Flgure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the shoebar, the plow standard being in section.

In the drawing, the plow beam is indicated by the numeral 1 and is integrally formed with a downwardly rounded standard 2. The standard 2 is provided with spaced transversely arranged openings 2.

To the lower end of the standard there is pivoted, as at '3, a shoe bar 4. The shoe bar, as best shown in Figure 4, comprises two plates, the forward ends of which straddle the standard 2, while secured between the plates at the rear end of the bar there is a depending cutting blade 5.

A stock 6 has adjustably secured to its lower end by means 7 a plow shovel 8.. The stock is formed of a single /strip of metal which is centrally rounded on itself to provide parallel arms, and between these arms the binding element for the adjustable connection 7 for the plow shovel 8 passes. The parallel arms are provided with spaced apertures 9. The arms of the stock receive therebetween the standard 2, suitable binding means 1() being passed through 'two of the openings in the arms of the stock at the opposite edges of the standard for'elfectiv-ely binding the stock on the standard.

Between the stock and the standard there is a brace member 10. The brace is also formed of a single strip of metalv whichfis centrally bent upon'itself to provide a lapping end 11 and from thence parallel arms f 12. The end 11 is received between the arms of the stock 6 and is sustained on the stock` by means 13. The spaced arms of the brace receive therebetween the standard 2, a pivot element 14 passing through the said arms and through one of the apertures 2 in the standard.

The binding and connecting means above mentioned are preferably in the nature of bolts which are engaged by nuts so that the same are removable, and whereby the above mentioned parts may be adjustably associatedl so that the plow may be successfully utilized for diierent characters of work.

The handle bars 15 have their inner endsl connected by plates or a socket member 16 whose outer end is bifurcated to receive therein the standard, means 17 pivotally securing lthe said handle bars to the standard, while between the beam and the handle bars there are brace bars 18.

It is thought that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the draw ing, will fully set forth the simplicity of my construction and its advantages to those skilled in the art to which such inventions relate, and while I have herein set forth al satisfactory embodiment of the improvement as it `now appears to me, it is, of course, to be understood that I am not to be restricted to the structural features disclosed but am entitled to make such changes therefromas fairly fall within the scope of what I claim.

Having described theinvention, I claim In combination, a plow beam having a downwardly extending standard provided. with spaced apertures, a furrow bar projecting rearwardly from the lower end of th( standard and supporting a blade, a stock `comprising a substantially U-shaped member straddling the standard'and having a plurality of openings, bolts passed through said opening and contacting with the opposite edges of the standard to hold the parts associated, a substantially U-shaped brace having its closed end flattened and received betweenthe spaced parallel armsof the U- shaped member of the Stock and pivotally Secured thereto, said brace having its arms straddling the standard and pivotally con- 10 neoted thereto at a point immediatelj;7 above said furrow bar. l Y

Infy testimony whereof I aHiX my si nature.
